Yes, isn't it ironic how people whine and complain that no one should believe what Moore says because its all false information.

Indeed. May I gently suggest here that if such a stick is used to beat MM then that same stick could also be used to beat our leaders? Because it seems to me, from much of what I have read and seen recently, that there are, to say the least, some doubts over the veracity of the information that was supplied to justify the war in Iraq, and some concerns over the way the information was presented for the public.

Perhaps it is that MM's constructions are rather easier to spot and to critique that we hear so much about it. Maybe too because he is, as it were, an outsider to government and therefore to the most powerfully authorised way of thinking. I suggest there could also be an element of shock - we'd all like to think, I believe, that those in power are acting in our interests, and to understand that just maybe sometimes they aren't can be difficult to accept.

And I hope you get lots of what I have been deprived of too

Thanks! I intend to ...
